  • Never to look back   They cannot remain like this… can they?

    Night Wing and Night Blade did not participate in the bickering, but their jaws tightened all the same. Their minds were focused on only one thing, returning to their lord.They moved swiftly toward the pre-arranged meeting points. Spector and Spectra had already hypnotised the first batch of children and were leading them toward the auditorium.Chris Jnr and Emm had thoroughly blended in with the children, making the task significantly easier. Kids always trust someone their age more easily compared to unfamiliar adults who are dressed in strange outfits, especially after the ordeal they went through.“Let me…”Night Mage stopped Night Wing and the others just as they were about to carry the children out. Sitting down in meditation, he began chanting while drawing symbols similar to the ones Hendrick and Chris used. Slowly, a black void formed before him. It was nowhere near as large or impressive as theirs, but it was sufficient for the task.Night Vigil and his team were not idle e

  • Never to look back   I don’t take reckless risks

    Chris stood by the hatch, eyes closed, yet acutely aware of every subtle shift in the air around him.Night Wing stood at his side, as always, silent, ready.Hendrick watched for a moment before stepping closer.As the jet approached the cloaking screen, Chris opened his eyes and gave a slight nod.Night Wing moved immediately, releasing the latch.Chris and Hendrick vanished.The jet continued forward, repeating the same manoeuvres as before… unseen, untracked.“Any sign of trouble, alert me immediately,” Chris said through the mind link, opening the channel to all Night Empire soldiers.“What next?” Hendrick asked as they landed lightly atop a treetop.“Get the rest of the children out.”Hendrick gestured between the two of them.Chris hummed in acknowledgment.Hendrick arched a brow.“We’re not using conventional methods,” Chris added, a faint frown forming. “We don’t have time.”“I thought you didn’t take risks.”“I don’t take reckless risks,” Chris said, a smirk tugging at his lip

  • Never to look back   If they believe they’re the only ones left… who would they fear?

    Far from the peace of Níngjìng Valley, high above uncharted international waters, the Night Lord’s stealth jet glided through the darkness, unseen, untracked.“According to Suk-Ju’s coordinates, we should be close to our destination,” Night Blade’s voice cut through the overhead PA. “But there’s nothing but ocean in sight.”Chris lifted his gaze from his work. Three holographic screens hovered before him, streams of data cascading as his fingers moved faster than the eye could follow.Across the cabin, Hendrick stirred from meditation and rose to his feet. He didn’t speak at first, just stood, stretched slightly, and walked to the window.A beat.Then---“Che.” A smirk tugged at his lips. “If this is their idea of secrecy… I’m disappointed.”Chris exhaled softly, almost amused.“Still the same,” he murmured. “You judge too quickly. Didn’t Master teach us never to underestimate the enemy?”Hendrick glanced back, one brow raised. “And you think too much.”That earned a faint chuckle.“Ma

  • Never to look back   Brilliance, however hidden, still draws attention.

    Hua Yueren was waiting at the secret entrance, the place reserved especially for the Night Lord and other mysterious guests, along with Bai- Min and Lai-Li when Marcus and the others arrived.“Grandpa Hua,” Marcus greeted, the other children echoing him in chorus.“Good child …. good… good… good.” Hua Yueren beamed, laughing like a contented Buddha as he welcomed them. For all his warmth, Hua Yueren’s gaze lingered a fraction too long on each child, counting, measuring… as if confirming something unseen.“Everything has been arranged according to Sixth Master Walter’s instructions.” Bai-Min reported stiffly.Penny and Felicity immediately stifled their laughter. They were well acquainted with Uncle Neil’s Master and Senior brothers, and Bai-Min’s stiffness was almost comical to them.Bai-Min blinked… once, twice… before realization dawned. His ears flushed red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.“Ignore him.” Lai-Li chuckled, “Junior brothers Min and the rest are eagerly waiting

  • Never to look back   Big treasure won’t leave little baby behind for long.

    Silence enveloped the room, the only sound was the occasional tapping of Chris’s fingers against the armrest, a habit he fell into when deep in thought.No one interrupted it. Not even little baby.Elites from the Night Lord’s empire entered quietly and took their places, standing as still as shadows, awaiting their lord’s orders.Chris finally spoke, not loudly, not urgently, but with the authority of a ruler whose words were not meant to be denied.“Every child moves under one umbrella. No exceptions.”“Night Vigil will coordinate with Hua Yueren and organize the logistics.”“On it,” Night Vigil’s voice came through the intercom.A pause.Chris turned his gaze to Night Wing. “Assign protection units. Four to one ratio. I want full coverage, not fragments.”His eyes shifted to Marcus.“You will lead the entire operation.”Marcus opened his mouth to argue, then lowered his head in acknowledgment.“If you feel the younger ones need more than four, assign accordingly.”Marcus nodded.“De

  • Never to look back   Did he just get big treasure and little treasure in trouble?

    “Big treasure… little treasure…!”Bruno’s cry broke through the room as he charged forward… only to launch himself at them, knocking both to the floor.He clung to them, sobbing, smearing tears, and absolutely no small amount of snot, all over them.“There, there…” Emm murmured softly, patting his back.The two of them exchanged a brief glance.They had forgotten about their little tail in their rush to intercept their father’s mission.The guilt showed.“Little baby… we’re sorry,” Chris Jnr coaxed, awkwardly wiping Bruno’s face. “We were reckless.”Bruno only sniffled harder, clinging tighter.Right then----Marcus stormed in.As if the current chaos wasn’t enough.“What happened to big treasure and little treasure?!”He made a beeline straight for Chris, not sparing the room a glance.“You promised me… no harm would come to them at Devil Island! I begged you to stop them until I got back!”Chris didn’t even flinch.He chuckled.Then casually raised a hand… pressing it against Marcus’

    Chris organized their return trip quietly as he promised his wife. He booked a private lunchroom with a kids play area and invited Grandpa Holston for lunch. Grandpa Holston couldn’t refuse even though he knew that he didn’t have face to face the young couple. Who asked them to have his precious gre

    “Dring ….Dring…. DRING….” The melody of waves crushing against the rocks was rudely interrupted by the unpleasant ringing. Daniel sat up hugging his head with a confused gaze as he looked around. His body wasn’t feeling great either, aching and sore like that of an old man. Ron too sat up with an an
